Select language to translate this lyric
I woke up this mornin', none of the news was good
The death machines was rollin' 'cross the ground where Jesus stood
The man on my TV told me it's always been that way
And there was nothin' anyone could do or say
And I almost listened to him and I almost lost my mind
Then I regained my senses again, I looked into my heart to find
That I believe that one fine day a children of Abraham
Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem
Maybe I'm only dreamin', maybe I'm just a fool
But I don't remember learnin' how to hate in Sunday school
Somewhere along the way I strayed, I never looked back again
Ah, but I still find a comfort now and then
And the storm comes a-rumblin' in and I cannot lay me down
The drums are drummin' again and I cannot stand the sound
But I believe there'll come a day when the lion and the lamb
Will lie down in peace together in Jerusalem
There'll be no barricades then and there'll be no wire or walls
We can wash all this blood from our hands
And all this hatred from our souls
And I believe that on that day all the children of Abraham
Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem
Lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem
